  • Mapping the Hard Way Doug Rose – May 2015
    Mapping the Hard Way Doug Rose – May 2015 Introduction Though the origins of computer generated graphics date from much earlier, they started becoming a practical reality in the late 1980s. With this now the norm and even making those early days seem primitive, this article looks at some of the ‘photo-mechanical’ working practices that were the norm beforehand. The reproduction of ‘half-tones’ (comprising continuously variable shades of single or multiple colours as in photographs) has much in common with layer tints (where the shades remain constant over small or large areas and also called ‘continuous tone’), this piece however will only deal with the latter. Though there were and are many ways of printing, ‘letterpress’ and ‘offset lithography’ accounted for the majority of general-purpose publication printing during the 20th century, with lithography (litho) dominating to an increasingly high degree with time. Indeed, letterpress was almost not used for anything larger or more complex than business cards by the 1990s. As with any well planned exercise that involves many stages, the most efficient methods are those which make the following ones as easy to fulfil as is practical. In order to understand why things were done the way they were, it is therefore better to look at the processes involved, working backwards from the printing press, only then will I explain how the work was originated. The production example I will be citing, that of London’s Underground diagram, has been printed lithographically for many decades now, and in numerous forms. As with many technical procedures, there is more than one way of achieving the same result.

  • Calligraphy Criteria August 18Th, 2004
    Calligraphy Criteria August 18th, 2004 SASKATCHEWAN CRAFT COUNCIL CALLIGRAPHY CRITERIA DEFINITION Calligraphy is the art and craft of beautiful writing. It is from the Greek – calli (beautiful) and graphien (to write). It is the art of communication with letters and words. The study and practice of calligraphy is disciplined and precise. The calligrapher pays careful attention to the proportions of letters, their spacing and arrangement of writing on the page. It is usually not handwriting as many think it to be, although handwriting may be beautiful, graceful and indeed calligraphic. Knowledge of historical and traditional styles of lettering serve as a starting point from which more contemporary hands (modern lettering styles) evolve. Sharpness, unity and freedom in the creation of letter forms are essential goals. Hard or soft writing tools and the proper use of various instruments such as: the reed, quill, metal- edged pens and brushes of many shapes are technical skills which are mastered by the calligrapher. Technical knowledge alone however does not result in a calligraphic masterpiece. The careful communication of letters alone or words of a text must be transcribed in such a way as to be true to the author of the text and evoke a response from the viewer. This can be done successfully with an appropriate lettering style, writing tool, choice of paper, the use of colour and design and layout. Words are usually the medium of expression for a calligraphic piece but do not necessarily have to be clear or legible. If the intent of a piece is to convey information, legibility is vital.
